This reminds me of Trakt.tv and the API it makes available to other apps like Serist (iOS) and TV Series (Android). I find a lot of value out of this setup.

#22This looks awesome, but it doesn't seem to work on Firefox (I'm on Quantum 57 beta).

#23Author here! I created this during my vacation because I wanted it to exist. The joy of being a web developer is being able to create the stuff you wish existed! The repo is here, and the README covers some of the more interesting parts of the codebase: https://github.com/joshwcomeau/Tello
I want to give you a special thanks for releasing a working example of a clean and professional codebase. I'm a web developer who works mostly in angular/vue + backend so it's great to have another reference point / comparison if/when I dive into React.
Also as minor feedback, a bulk-add view for shows would be nice.

#24Neat. I currently use EpisodeCalendar ( https://episodecalendar.com/ ) so I'm looking at it from the perspective of is it worth switching. So far, no, as I like being able to see a month view of the calendar. Also, I initially expected clicking the show on the calendar to give me more information (full title, summary), not simply mark it watched. I'll try it out for a week or so and see if it grows on me.
Exactly what this comment said. Very long time EC user, this is lovely designed but not quite for me.

I thought of trakt.tv also and wonder what would compel me to switch?
I use trakt.tv with kodi and also take advantage of trakt's website.

#26I really read "Trello" and the name seems like a rather serious collision to me.
Especially since I currently use Trello to manage TV Shows.

I expected something related to the also poorly named Sprint MVNO, https://tello.com/

#28Props for building it and releasing the source code. It makes for a fun pet project.
I use other websites/apps for tracking TV shows. Did you check these out?

Thanks! Yeah, was fun.
Quoting my reply to a similar comment:
"""
Yeah, so I spent 2-3 days trying Trakt, which seems like the market leader.
I kinda hated it. It's SO feature-packed that it's overwhelming. I don't need every app I use to be a mini-social-network.
One of my favourite things is to build a competitor that does _less_. I built http://panther.audio, which is essentially a pretty UI for Spotify's "related artists" feature. It does way less than Spotify, but its narrow focus means I can create a great experience for that single function.
The other thing is, I just like building stuff :) truthfully, Trakt is probably better for most folks; it just does way more. For me, though, I love that I can spend """
I haven't tried either of the links you suggested, but I'm actually not a fan of email/text reminders. I'm likely at work or doing something else when an email comes in. I want to be able to check on my own schedule, to see when new stuff's available (likely 10 seconds before I sit on the couch).
But yeah, different strokes for different folks :)

#30I like the idea, I've been looking for something like this. Some feedback for my preferences: * would like higher information density, almost half the screen is the title bar and nav bar. the buttons don't need to be so big. * I think the home page should be "backlog." the summary page isn't that useful to me, unless I want to click on a lot of tiny dots. I just want to see the very next episode I have to watch and b…
Thanks for the feedback :) this is very much a beta release.
